Video: Dash-cam footage from police chase that ended when driver was impaled by fence

A high-speed chase began late Sunday in Detroit but ended in Warren when the getaway driver was impaled by a fence post, the top rail passing through his truck's front windshield and straight out the back.

"Looking at the photos, it was just devastating. Very difficult," Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer told Fox 2.

The chase began in Detroit, when 42-year-old Brian Keith Boling sped away during a traffic stop.

Police believe Boling -- who had warrants out for driving with a suspended licence, indecent exposure and three drunk driving charges -- may have been drinking and reached speeds of around 50 mph during the chase.

Warren police joined the pursuit when Boling crossed into the suburb, following him down the dead end where he eventually collided with the cyclone fence.
